Hirotoshi Ito’s stone sculptures are a delightful paradox, blending the rigid and the whimsical in a way that captivates and amuses. His ability to transform the hard, unyielding nature of stone into objects that exude softness and flexibility is nothing short of magical. With a legacy rooted in a family stonework business dating back to 1879, Ito’s craftsmanship is steeped in history yet vibrantly modern.
His sculptures, which range from stones that seem to laugh out loud to rocks that unzip to reveal hidden treasures, are a testament to his skill and creativity. They challenge our perceptions, inviting us to see the extraordinary in the ordinary and find joy in the unexpected.
